Pastor A G Harrison Vanishes Amid Church Fraud Claims
The Rev A G Harrison pastor of the Peoples Tabernacle in Washington and his family disappeared from their home yesterday. Reports allege he is $9000 short in church funds after failing to pay bills for furniture carpets and a church organ and borrowing large sums from parishioners. Builder W L Bruen, a major loser by about $7000, notes Harrison left town as soon as an church investigation was anticipated, taking household goods with him. Harrison had moved from Texas three years ago to lead a growing congregation that funded the tabernacle’s construction.

Finneran's Involvement in City Paving Foremen Trial Evident
Testimony in a Boston paving department case shows foremen Michael Coyle and Cullen admitting to employing Thomas Finneran in three incidents while eight other foremen deny any direct work by him. Witnesses describe payroll inconsistencies, possible misattributions, and ties to City Hall officials as prosecutors seek to prove funds paid to Finneran were not justified by the foremen returns.
